I don't play the market, but watching Elmo do something stupid with Twitter and then watching how it affects $TSLA has become a new hobby.

If that's true, it's a stupid way to attempt that. There is nothing stopping people from just scraping Twitter's front end. That means Twitter pays a ton more money because they have to serve much more data.
APIs are a much more efficient way to serve specific data sets.

Exactly. Either give people a way to do what they are trying to do or they will find a much less desirable path forward.
